General Instuctions

• The application is an editable PDF document. You must have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer in order to complete the application and its associated documents. Adobe Acrobat Reader is a free program that you can download.
  
• The application and the recommendation forms are editable. In order to successfully complete this application, type DIRECTLY into the text boxes. Once you are finished entering your responses, you must print the entire application packet.
  
• The recommendation forms are in Microsoft Word format. Once you've completed the top section, print the appropriate amount of copies and give them to the appropriate people to complete.
  
• You will not be able to save the completed application as is. For your essay questions, we suggest that you either save your responses prior to printing (you can copy the text you've typed, and paste it into a Word document), or type your responses in a word processing program and copy and paste them into the text boxes on the application.
  
• IMPORTANT: If you are using a Mac running OS 10.x, you will be able to view the documents via Preview.app but will need to use Adobe Acrobat Reader to complete the application itself.
